Linux v2.6.15-rc5

2005-12-04T05:10:42Z

Hey, for no other reason than the fact that I'll be off-line for a week. Of course, I could force everybody to just use git (and when I'm emperor of the world, don't think I won't!), but it seems some people want to just test official releases. Even if they are just -rc's. By the time I'm back, Andrew will have fixed all my bugs, and I'll release it as 2.6.15 and take all the credit. Mwahahahaaa Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Link USB drivers later in the kernel

2005-12-04T04:50:51Z

We want to link the "regular" SCSI drivers before the USB storage driver, since historically we've always detected internal SCSI disks before the external USB storage modules. The link order matters for initcall ordering, and this got broken by mistake by commit 7586269c0b52970f60bb69fcb86e765fc1d72309 which moved the USB host controller PCI quirk handling around.

Make vm_insert_page() available to NVidia module

2005-12-04T04:48:11Z

It used to use remap_pfn_range(), which wasn't GPL-only either, and the new interface is actually simpler and does more checking, so we shouldn't unnecessarily discourage people from switching over. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Fix up per-cpu page batch sizes

2005-12-04T04:46:40Z

The code to clamp batch sizes to 2^n - 1 went missing and an extra check got added, which must have been a hunk of the "higer order pcp batch refills" work sneaking in. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] libata: fix ata_scsi_pass_thru error handling

2005-12-04T01:31:16Z

This patch makes ata_scsi_pass_thru() properly set result code and sense data on translation failures. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

NFSv4: Fix an Oops in the synchronous write path

2005-12-03T20:20:21Z

- Missing initialisation of attribute bitmask in _nfs4_proc_write() - On success, _nfs4_proc_write() must return number of bytes written. - Missing post_op_update_inode() in _nfs4_proc_write() - Missing initialisation of attribute bitmask in _nfs4_proc_commit() - Missing post_op_update_inode() in _nfs4_proc_commit() Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

NFS: Fix post-op attribute revalidation...

2005-12-03T20:20:17Z

- Missing nfs_mark_for_revalidate in nfs_proc_link() - Missing nfs_mark_for_revalidate in nfs_rename() Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

NFS: use set_page_writeback() in the appropriate places

2005-12-03T20:20:14Z

Ensure that we use set_page_writeback() in the appropriate places to help the VM in keeping its page radix_tree in sync. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

SUNRPC: Fix Oopsable condition in rpc_pipefs

2005-12-03T20:20:10Z

The elements on rpci->in_upcall are tracked by the filp->private_data, which will ensure that they get released when the file is closed. The exception is if rpc_close_pipes() gets called first, since that sets rpci->ops to NULL. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

NFS: Fix a few further cache consistency regressions

2005-12-03T20:20:07Z

Steve Dickson writes: Doing the following: 1. On server: $ mkdir ~/t $ echo Hello > ~/t/tmp 2. On client, wait for a string to appear in this file: $ until grep -q foo t/tmp ; do echo -n . ; sleep 1 ; done 3. On server, create a *new* file with the same name containing that string: $ mv ~/t/tmp ~/t/tmp.old; echo foo > ~/t/tmp will show how the client will never (and I mean never ;-) ) see the updated file. The problem is that we do not update nfsi->cache_change_attribute when the file changes on the server (we only update it when our client makes the changes). This again means that functions like nfs_check_verifier() will fail to register when the parent directory has changed and should trigger a dentry lookup revalidation. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust
